Ramona Soto Rank was my best friend for 20 years. We had the best adventures and I miss her every day.

[@tennissir1986]

Very nice.

[@VioletJoy]

That's amazing!

[@teijaflink2226]

She seemed lovely and very pretty.

[@FrankIsAlwaysRight]

Did you drink “fire water” with her or smoke the peace pipe together?

[@gbrumburgh]

​​@@FrankIsAlwaysRightWhat kind of stupid, insensitive question is that? What is wrong with people like you?

Love how he says God Bless to all the contestants!

EXACTLY. GOD BLESS YOU @janeharris4237

Mr, Tweed was a true hero. What an amazing story and man. Thanks for the video.

[@alskndlaskndal]

Anacin relieves pain, fights depression, AND calms jittery nerves? I gotta get some of that stuff!

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

That was an interesting comment by Kitty about it being Tom's birthday, which indicates the show was taped on October 17 and broadcast five days later.

[@walkingtrails7776]

George Tweed ..amazing story! Look him up!

[@SDG.12]

the 3 ladies were just absolutely gorgeous

[@VioletJoy]

And so believable.

[@kingforaday8725]

@@VioletJoy Except for the fact they were pretty much wrong about the location of the Nez Perces and other indian tribes.

[@VioletJoy]

@@kingforaday8725 Most people aren't as knowledgeable as you are with such facts. They came across believable because they answered so quickly and their answers sounded accurate.

[@audw2534]

You can explain what you mean to the other two later… Priceless!

[@richardbruder7050]

I finally get to see George Tweed. A Real Hero

[@519djw6]

In Round #2, Tom Poston nailed it with his comment about the Nez-Percés.

[@rebeccaquartieri5509]

Would've been interesting to know what the folks watching 60 yrs ago thought of this episode.

[@teresastaggs7923]

I was 4 years old watching and all I remember was asking my grandma why 3 people had the same name. She said they were lying. I thought that was just awful to lie and to put it on t.v. at that!

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I had just turned 2. It's amazing to think it was 60 years ago!

[@Rodin99]

the questions to the Native/Indian Americans could have been better. A lot of interest in the Nez Perces and only one was asked as to her background.

[@gwenjones117]

Remember at the time of this show many practices were illegal

[@michaelcox436]

Amazing how little anyone knew about hot air balloons. They're very old.

[@VioletJoy]

What a great episode! That George Tweed was such a handsome, smiley fella. It wasn't obvious that he had endured so much. The Indians were lovely and believable. I guessed #1 just from how she stated her name. The third one was fun and somehow I guessed that one too. The panel made such silly comments in the third round. Kind of embarrassing. They weren't funny.

[@halliehasslinger9663]

I think the sample of Anacin the panel took kicked in around the third game... 😂

[@VioletJoy]

[@Walterwhiterocks]

I think Tom may have been under the influence tonight. He certainly was acting strangely.

[@sbalman]

He has acted strangely during so many of the early 60s episodes. I keep wondering what might have been going on in his life.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Surely the producers could have stood the cost and filmed round 2 in colour to see those 100 year old costumes.

[@kingforaday8725]

The last Miss Indian America contest was held in 1984. Also, at the time this episode was broadcast native American ancestry was something many folks preferred not to mention or let it be known.

[@audw2534]

Their comments and questions to the Native Americans were so condescending. Sign of the times I suppose.

[@ronniebishop2496]

I noticed that and today it would be awful even though it's harmless fun it just shows how crazy some people have become.

[@elianamiller2666]

@@ronniebishop2496 Yes, it has become so very idiotic and actually wants to erase the history o giving the natives of this land of being honoured.

[@peternagy-im4be]

Nothing remotely wrong with anything they said.

Thank you, I just watched and everyone who is truly against the DEVIL should watch the truth. EVIL IS OUT THERE and obviously TODAY.

[@tumarbongrox6074]

Why does the game show "WHATS MY LINE?" only give away $50 in prize money and this show gives away *hundreds* of dollars in prize money?

[@mattalbrecht7471]

Never understood this show

[@519djw6]

Here is some contemporary newsreel footage about George Tweed and his rescue, etc. However, please be warned that it contains racist language, as did almost all WWII-era newsreels about the Japanese. But the same was true, to a lesser extent, about the (of course, white) Germans, though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHK4ZYSZi6plm8k

When I saw the name of the third contestant, I thought surely there would be a woman among the three.

[@elianamiller2666]

@Jay Temple WHAT? By what reasoning do you even have?

The pandering toward the three girls was disgusting. I wish someone would have said how beautiful they were! Was one of them Hawaiian?

[@bobbycv64]

Yes, #2 was Hawaiian and the prettiest

[@gershonswirsky9311]

the India questions were damn embarrassing !

[@sheila174]

Yes these videos would even be considered racists (or at least politically incorrect) by these day's standards! I am also amazed that simple aspirin with caffeine (Anacin) fights jitters (nerves) and depression! I don't think so!

No just shows how silly some people are today.
